Patrick Wolf, "Lycanthropy"
(2003)

I was once a boy
'Til I cut my penis off
And I grew a hairy skull
Of stubborn fire

Then I was a girl
'Til I sewed my hole up
And I grew a hairy heart
Of dark desire
But
There's no answer, just surrender
Send all your barriers into the fire

And
Let no foot mark your ground
Let no hand hold you down
You were once so sad
'Til you cut your suffer off

Now you please yourself
And fight your own wars
And you were once so weak
'Til you sewed your wounds up

Now you've learnt to sing
About sun and shine

Be you own hero
Be your own savior
Send all your suffering
Into the fire


Thanks, Dru!
